Part of a successful continuing project, this is an opportunity to do some revision of your history knowledge: the programme highlights some of the connections between music, historical figures and political and social events. At the same time, you’ll be listening to powerful music in an unusual setting, in which you’ll hear and perceive it “from the inside”, or, if you wish, differently. The orchestra will be positioned throughout the hall of Besední dům and you, the audience, will sit among the musicians. You simply cannot get any closer to the music than this!

Tickets are sold by sector. Seats are not numbered.

Sector A: in and around the orchestra
Sector B: on stage
Sector C: in the balcony

Tickets for the concert can be purchased SEPARATELY or as part of a TAILOR-MADE SEASON, which offers a volume discount based on the number of concerts.
